Chapter 387: Mirror Image of King City
"But since there are advantages, there are also disadvantages." Before Joey started to have a lot of fantasies in his mind, Leo changed the topic and said again.
"Disadvantage?" Joey was stunned for a moment, then calmed down quickly and asked, "What's the disadvantage?"
Leo said in a deep voice: "The disadvantage is that you will become the target of all the embers of wisdom in the royal city, because as long as they have control of you, they will be able to travel through the endless royal city, and everything you can obtain will naturally be captured by them.
get."
When Joey heard this, he was shocked and instinctively stepped back twice. He looked at Leo secretly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Leo didn't have the greed he often saw before.
, perhaps feeling that his reaction was a bit too much, so he smiled at Leo awkwardly.
Leo ignored Joey's reaction and asked the Fire Control Girl: "Why is this happening? Is it related to the ring?"
"No, it shouldn't be the ring," the fire fighter girl shook her head and said: "As far as I know, the ring definitely has no such ability. This should have something to do with him, his tribe or bloodline. He is not affected by the abyss serpent ring.
, I’m afraid it’s also for this reason.”
"Has anyone like him been to the royal city before?" Leo asked again.
"No, not one." The fire-proof girl shook her head, looked at Joey, and replied with certainty: "And this is the first time I have seen a race like theirs."
"As far as I know, the world he lives in also has a royal city..." Leo frowned and said suspiciously.
"That's a royal city, but it's not considered a royal city." Fire Guard Girl explained.
"What does this mean?" Leo asked in confusion after hearing this contradictory answer.
At this time, the nuns and knights who were praying in front of the surrounding statues also recovered from their praying state. The expressions on their faces were different, but it could be seen that they had gained something more or less. Although they were also very curious.
Regarding the situation on Leo's side, the old man reading the book still posed some deterrent force to them, preventing them from approaching. However, Seledor obviously didn't have so many worries, and walked to the bonfire with his sword without saying much.
Asked, he sat directly by the bonfire, took out a small wine barrel from somewhere, and started drinking leisurely.
Although Joey on the side was a little afraid of the fire girl, he heard that the conversation between the two actually involved the royal city, which made him involuntarily move closer and listen with his ears pricked up. It is not an exaggeration at all to say that he pricked up his ears because
His long ears stood up and twitched from time to time.
"There is only one royal city, but there is no limit to the number of mirror images of the royal city." The fire defense girl said simply: "The royal cities in your world are actually just the mirror images of the royal city projected on your world, and even the gods in the mirror royal city are also
It’s also just a mirror image.”
Leo frowned after hearing the explanation given by the Fire Control Girl, because he always felt that the Fire Control Girl was hiding something and didn't tell the whole story. Just when he was about to ask, Joey couldn't help but feel curious.
, rushed to ask: "Why do the gods project the mirror image of the royal city onto our world?"
Although this question was not what Leo wanted to know, he was also curious about it.
The fire girl said calmly: "Not even the gods can answer this question for you, just like you ask why a big tree is rooted in the ground, or why the sun hangs in the sky, there is no way to explain it clearly."
Joey didn't understand what the fire girl said, and there was a look of confusion and contemplation on his face.
Leo thought for a while and asked confirmingly: "You mean that the appearance of the mirror image of the royal city in different worlds is a world law and cannot be controlled by the gods."
"You can say that." The fire girl responded simply.
Joey suddenly asked again: "The reason why the living dead appear in our world is because of the Royal City, right?"
The Fire Control Girl was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The appearance of the living dead is due to the invasion of the abyss and the extinguishing of the flames. It has no direct relationship with the royal city."
"There's no direct relationship, so that means there's an indirect relationship?" Because it involved his own world and the abnormal changes in his body, Joey seemed to be a lot more courageous, pressing the question step by step.
The fire defense girl was silent for another moment, and finally nodded and said: "It can also be said that the existence of the mirror image of the royal city in your world is to isolate the invasion of the abyss, but with the disappearance of the royal city, the world's barrier against the abyss has also disappeared.
, the flames of the world are gradually swallowed by the abyss, humanity disappears, and embers appear."
Hearing the words of the Fire Control Girl, Joey's face became a little ugly. He didn't know whether he felt hesitant about his own physical condition or worried about the disaster in the world.
However, after listening to the fire defense girl's words, Leo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, because if the castle on top of the golden deer is really the royal city, then it means that the royal city in Velen's world has been destroyed, and then the abyss will inevitably invade,
The living dead will definitely appear in the world of Velen, but looking at various classics in the world of Velen, there is no content about the invasion of the abyss.
For some reason, Leo couldn't help but have a somewhat absurd idea, but it might be true.
From the previous conversations between Joey, Seredor and others, Leo knew that the world they were in was not a world where gods could easily perform miracles, and they did not possess many extraordinary powers. Even religions were based on the gods of the royal city.
A religious system built as the core.
The world of Velen is different from these worlds. In ancient times, the world of Velen was a world full of gods. There were not only true gods who had truly evolved to omega-level advanced life forms, but also a large number of false gods who had not completed their evolution but were still powerful.
, which means that the power system of Velen's world is not at the same level as the world of Joey, Seredor and others.
The appearance of things like the projection of the royal city in other worlds may be a major event that can influence the world situation and future direction, but in the world of Velen, it is just an insignificant wave in the sea.
The castle that resembles the Royal City on the head of the golden giant deer may not mean that the royal city can suppress the golden giant deer. On the contrary, the castle may be the trophy of the golden giant deer, and the objects of the battle are most likely to be those Asians in the projection of the royal city.
The gods of Norrond, and more likely the gods of Anorrond, were ultimately defeated, and even the projection of the royal city was taken away, becoming the spoils of the giant golden deer.
Facing such a powerful god of the Velen world, I am afraid that even the Abyss cannot take advantage of it, and naturally cannot have an impact on the Velen world.
What makes Leo a little worried is that the gods in Velen's world are beginning to disappear one by one. The situation is somewhat similar to the world of Seledor and others. Although there are no living dead yet, at least some not so good ones have appeared.
The unusual phenomenon made him wonder if this was a sign.
"What is the abyss?" At this time, Joey asked another question that Leo also wanted to know.
"The abyss is the original sin at the bottom of the world and the root of all evil." The fire girl gave a vague answer, which did not have much useful content and was more like a poor poem.
This sentence was of no use to Joey, but it was like a reminder to Leo, reminding him of a mission report.
In that flight mission report, it was mentioned that during a flight test, the spacecraft entered an unknown space and lost its way. Then it used double singularity particles to forcibly open a passage. After returning to the normal universe, everyone on the spacecraft
All had mental problems, and their personalities had changed. These people were eventually put under supervision, and the most serious ones among them conducted a series of secret experiments, and a very special word was mentioned in the test report.
, this word is black oil, and the comment behind black oil is the root of all evil.
After remembering the report, Leo couldn't help but wonder if the black oil and human pus mentioned in the report were the same thing.
Just when Leo was about to ask the fire girl about the details of human pus, a strong vibration suddenly came from the prayer hall where they were. Everyone was unable to stand for a while and sat on the ground staggeringly.
The magical connection between the two time and space formed by the bonfire is now broken. Except that the flames of the bonfire are burning more vigorously, there is no other change in the surroundings.
"Did something happen to them?" Joey asked as he keenly noticed the unusual situation on the Fire Guard Girl's side.
"Maybe!" Leo walked to the bonfire and sat down, gestured to Joey, and said: "Wait for a while, if they don't show up, I will leave and go to the upper level of the royal city. What about you? What are you going to do?
?”
"Me?" Joey was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "I also want to see what's going on in the upper royal city. If you don't mind it, I hope you can take me with you."
Leo nodded after hearing this, and then in order to pass the time, he casually asked about the situation in Joey's world.
Obviously Joey's own knowledge is not enough to answer such a question, and the world he lives in should still be similar to the medieval era of the old earth era. Knights are the leaders of war, so knights also have some privileges.
Joey was born as a commoner. Like most children from the slums, he joined a gang affiliated with the Thieves Alliance very early and then made a living in Bingling City. In fact, Joey spent most of his time in Bingling City.
After spending time in the city, his understanding of the world was only limited to the Northern Kingdom and a few surrounding countries. He didn't even know how many provinces the Northern Kingdom had and which big cities it was, so Leo only gained from him
There is very little information about that world.
However, in this small amount of information, Leo discovered something interesting, that is, a myth and legend spread throughout the world, a legend about the humans in that world.
In the legend, the human ancestors of that world lived on a star in the sky and lived a happy and prosperous life. However, because of some of the most evil beings, their ancestors were forced to leave the world they lived in and were transported by an extremely huge ship.
Ships were sent to this world along the sea of stars, and gradually multiplied.
This myth and legend just confirms Leo's previous guess that the people in Joey's world are also the survivors of the slave ship, and if nothing unexpected happens, the people in Seredor's world also have the same origin.
In this way, everyone who can enter the royal city or the place where everything ends may have this origin, so this matter is worth pondering.
After the Weiya and Guha giants died together, how did the survivors on the slave ship escape the disaster, and how did they get involved with the royal city and the place where everything ends? Moreover, the slave ship was not only human or any other race.
There are mixed races, and there are many alien races. Many of these races are powerful aliens that can survive in outer space for a period of time. Where have these aliens gone? Why are only humans and human hybrids surviving?
A series of questions emerged in Leo's mind, but there are no answers to these questions now.
Just when Leo was troubled by various problems, Joey on the side also asked Leo some questions about how to obtain extraordinary power. Regarding these questions, Leo briefly talked about them without going into too much depth.
Especially when it came to psychic powers, he didn't mention it at all, because even if he talked about it, it was impossible to activate psychic powers with Joey's blood.
"Mr. Leo, how can I obtain the power you are talking about?" After going around in circles for a few times, Joey finally couldn't help but asked Leo directly.
Faced with Joey's inquiry, Leo was silent for a moment and said, "You can't have the power I have."
Joey's face immediately became a little gloomy.
But then Leo changed the topic and said: "But things are never absolute. At least I know some methods that can give you some power that is beyond ordinary people."
"What method is that?" Joey asked impatiently.
However, Leo did not answer, but looked at Joey and smiled.
Joey has been hanging out at the bottom all year round, so he naturally knew what Leo meant. He couldn't help but touch the ring on his hand. In his opinion, this ring was the most valuable thing on his body.
"I don't need your ring." Such an obvious action could not escape Leo's eyes. He easily guessed what the other person was thinking, shook his head and said, "Your ring is of no use to me. What I need is from you."
There is no need to pay now, if we can meet here again in the future, you can leave it to me then."
"Wouldn't this be a disadvantage for you?" Joey was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.
"Now you think I am at a disadvantage, you may feel that you are at a disadvantage in the future." Leo shook his head, hinted, and then asked, "What do you think?"
Joey hesitated for a moment, cautiously not agreeing immediately, but tentatively asked: "What do you want me to give you?"
